Chapter 35: Prayer

After Concubine Xu took Yang Ye downstairs, she didn't say a word, and walked out of the family building angrily, without waiting for Yang Ye.

Yang Ye had no choice but to speed up his pace and catch up.

After catching up with Concubine Xu, Yang Ye maintained his speed and walked side by side with her, looking at her gloomy face, and persuaded: "Don't be angry, we are not really together anyway, so why should we care about your parents' words? ”

Hearing Yang Ye's words, Concubine Xu suddenly stopped, turned her face, and glared at Yang Ye angrily with a pair of phoenix eyes: "You just want to break up with me like that?"

Yang Ye, who was a little confused by Concubine Xu's words, read in his heart: It was originally a fake boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, so how to talk about breaking up, it was just a rhetoric to confuse Xu Hongchang and Liu Ying.

However, at this time, Concubine Xu's mood was a little unstable, and Yang Ye was not good at stimulating him anymore, so he had no words.

Concubine Xu looked at Yang Ye, who was speechless, and seemed to realize that there was something wrong with her words, so she asked instead: "They look down on you so much, aren't you a little angry?"

Yang Ye pursed his lips and smiled, and said freely: "What do I have to be angry about, I am now a powerless and powerless worker, and it is normal for them to look down on me." Besides, the most important thing in a person's life is their own feelings, not other people's opinions, otherwise you will live a very hard life. ”

Concubine Xu tilted her head and said, "Although what you said seems to be very reasonable, I am still a little angry with their methods, and I can't do it as freely as you say." ”

"No matter what they say, they are also thinking about you, and the starting point is also to care about you, I actually envy you, there are parents who care about you. ”

Hearing Yang Ye's words, thinking that his parents had already passed away, today was enough to embarrass him, Concubine Xu didn't want him to fall into the grief of losing his parents because of herself, so she shook off the negative emotions in her mind and said to Yang Ye: "Forget it, let's go to dinner first, after eating, I'll take you to a place, I want to go and relax." ”

"Where are you going?" asked Yang Ye.

"Don't you know when you go, it's a secret for now. Concubine Xu looked mysterious.

The two casually found a roadside stall, and after eating a bowl of noodles, Concubine Xu took Yang Ye into a taxi and reported the name of Linjiang Park to the master.

After arriving at the destination, Yang Ye knew that this was a park built on the edge of the Wujiang River.

At this time, the night has been shrouded, and the decorative lights in the park have been lit up, like colorful fireworks, decorating the whole park with gorgeous and charming.

Concubine Xu looked at the lights in the park, and had some recollection: "I haven't been here for a long time, it's still the same." ”

"Have you been playing like this a lot before?" Yang Ye asked.

Concubine Xu nodded, "Follow me." Then he walked out into the park.

Yang Ye followed behind her.

Even though it's night, there are still a lot of people playing in the park, some are around the food vendors, some are playing happily next to the entertainment facilities, and some are just taking a leisurely walk on the long garden path.

Concubine Xu didn't stay in these places, she took Yang Ye to a place close to the river, pointed to a pavilion hanging on the river and said, "Let's go, let's go there." With that, he took Yang Ye to a pontoon bridge connected to the Jiangzhong Pavilion and walked towards the pavilion.

The pontoon bridge was about a hundred meters away, and the two walked for three or four minutes and came to the pavilion. There were only three or three people in the pavilion, most of them were couples, almost all of them were holding a paper boat in their hands, lying on the circular seat on the inside of the pavilion, writing something. In the middle of the pavilion, there is an old man, and in front of him, all kinds of delicate paper boats are placed.

Seeing Yang Ye's gaze, Concubine Xu said to him, "Do you know what this is doing?"

Yang Ye shook his head.

Concubine Xu explained: "They were on a paper boat, wrote their wishes, and then put them in the Wujiang River. Legend has it that there is a god in the Wujiang River, called the river god, who will drift into the paper boat in the middle of the river, looking for his destined person and helping him realize his wishes. So writing a wish on a paper boat is also a way to pray for it, and many of us here believe in it. ”

Yang Ye said lightly: "Isn't this feudal superstition?"

Hearing Yang Ye's words, before Concubine Xu could speak, the old man in the pavilion said to Yang Ye with a tone of warning: "Young man, in this Wujiang Pavilion, don't blaspheme the gods, if the river god knows about it, he will be punished." ”

Hearing the old man's words, Concubine Xu hurriedly cast an apologetic look at him, then pulled Yang Ye to the corner of the pavilion and whispered: "If you don't believe it, don't say it, the people who come here all believe in the river god." ”

When Yang Ye heard this, he said helplessly: "Okay, I won't say it, this old man is not the incarnation of the river god, he will eat me in a while." ”

When Concubine Xu heard this, she snorted, laughed, and said angrily: "What kind of incarnation of the river god, he is just selling paper boats here." ”

Yang Ye said to Concubine Xu: "You brought me here, do you also want to pray with a paper boat." ”

Concubine Xu put away her smile, and her face fell into a memory: "In the past, as long as I was unhappy and unhappy, I would come here. I used to have a very good friend, every time she would accompany me to come, we wrote down our wishes together, threw the paper boat to the Wujiang River together, and then sat in the pavilion together, eating ice cream, blowing the river breeze, doing these things, I felt that all the troubles, all the unhappiness, all disappeared, everything was still beautiful. It's just that later, my friend went abroad to study, and there was no one to accompany me to do these things. And then gradually, I didn't come here before. ”

"Then you and your friends should have a deep relationship. Yang Ye asked.

"Of course, that's a big partner with me, although she went abroad, we still often contact online, but unfortunately after she graduated, she chose to stay abroad for employment, hey, I haven't seen each other for many years. Concubine Xu sighed.

Yang Ye looked at Concubine Xu, who was a little lost, and changed the topic: "Since you brought me over, you can take me to play with a paper boat." ”

When Concubine Xu heard this, her eyes lit up, she nodded, and then returned to the old man's stall, bought two pink paper boats, borrowed the pen in front of the stall, handed them to Yang Ye and said, "Come on, write your wishes on the paper boat." ”

After taking the paper boat and pen, Yang Ye and Concubine Xu sat on the chairs on the side, ready to write.

Suddenly, to write down his wishes, Yang Ye did not have no way to write, the previous life, until the moment of death, the obsession that he could not forget has been deeply engraved in his heart. So Yang Ye picked up the pen and wrote on the paper boat: Like an ordinary person, live an ordinary life.

After Yang Ye finished writing, he found that Concubine Xu had also put down the pen and was looking at herself, the two looked at each other and smiled, then took the paper boat, came to the edge of the pavilion, squatted down, and put the paper boat on the surface of the Wujiang River through the hollow railing under the pavilion, and the two small boats swayed along the river and slowly drifted away.

Looking at the paper boat that was gradually moving away, Concubine Xu closed her eyes and made a gesture with her hands folded.

After opening her eyes, Concubine Xu couldn't help but smile when she saw Yang Ye's clumsy movements, and her starry eyes bent into crescents.

After the ceremony, the two sat down on the pavilion again, and Concubine Xu couldn't help but ask, "What kind of wish did you make?"

When Yang Ye heard this, he thought about it, and told Concubine Xu honestly: "My wish is to live like an ordinary person." ”

Hearing Yang Ye's words, Concubine Xu was a little disbelieving: "You lied to me, right?"

Yang Ye shook his head and said, "Really." ”

Seeing that Yang Ye's expression didn't seem to be fake, Concubine Xu pouted and said: "What does it mean to live like an ordinary person, aren't you just an ordinary person, what's the matter, you still fantasize that you are a celebrity, a great man?"

Yang Ye, who didn't know how to explain it to Concubine Xu, didn't dwell on this question, and instead asked, "What about your wishes?"

When Concubine Xu heard this, she couldn't help but say: "You fool, how can you say your wishes, it won't work if you say it." ”

"Then you are still" Yang Ye felt a little fooled.

Looking at Yang Ye's appearance, Concubine Xu couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "So you're a fool." ”

Shaking his head a little helplessly, looking at Concubine Xu who was smiling like a flower in front of him, Yang Ye asked, "Are you in a much better mood now?"

Concubine Xu nodded and said, "Well, the bad mood has been taken away by Lord River God, but it seems that there is something missing." ”

When Yang Ye heard this, he was silent for a few seconds, and said to Concubine Xu, "You wait for me for a while." With that, he turned and left the pavilion.

"What are you going to do?" Concubine Xu hurriedly asked, but the figure of Yang Ye, who did not respond, became smaller and smaller in her eyes, guessing that Yang Ye might have gone to the toilet, Concubine Xu didn't think much about it, her body gently leaned on the fence of the pavilion, quietly blowing the gentle river breeze.

A few minutes later, Concubine Xu felt someone pat her on the shoulder, so she turned her head and looked at Yang Ye with a smile on her face, one hand raised in the air, and what she was holding in her hand was an ice cream.

Looking at the ice cream in Yang Ye's hand, the corners of Concubine Xu's eyes suddenly became a little moist, and a warm current flowed in her heart, and she put her eyes on the gentle-looking man in front of her.

Seeing Concubine Xu who was crying inexplicably, Yang Ye, who was a little at a loss, hurriedly said, "What's the matter, did I do something wrong?"

Hearing this, Concubine Xu raised her pink fist and gently hammered it on Yang Ye's chest and said, "You villain, why are you recalling my memories again." ”

When Yang Ye heard this, he apologized: "I'm sorry, I'll throw it away." As he spoke, Yang Ye was about to throw away the ice cream in his hand, but he was quickly snatched away by Concubine Xu.

Concubine Xu glanced at Yang Ye and said, "The ice cream you bought for me, you still want to throw it away, it's really a big bad guy." ”
